Prune soup (Khorda) is a fragrant dish that combines the tenderness of lamb, the sweetness of prunes, and the richness of vegetable broth. Its origins are rooted in traditions where fruity accents in meat soups highlight their depth of flavor. Prunes add a sweet smokiness, creating a unique velvetiness. Hearty rice and fresh vegetables harmoniously complement the main note of the dish. This soup is perfect for cozy home evenings when you want to warm up with something rich and unusual. Khorda reveals the secret of culinary balance – where sweet and salty intertwine in a unified dance of flavors. It can be served with herbs or flatbreads, enhancing the richness of textures. This is not just soup; it's a gastronomic journey that combines traditions with modern author cuisine.
